I created these star cookies as part of a collaboration with my friend Marlyn of Montreal Confections to celebrate the launch of the Facebook Stars program. You can learn about it in this video.

Instructions
Bake and cool the cookies according to the recipe instructions.
Ice a star cookie with flood consistency royal icing and a decorating tip 2.
Use a scribe tool to help shape the icing.
Pipe stars with flood consistency royal icing with a decorating tip 2 in a different color while the base layer is still wet.
Drag the scribe tool through the icing starting at the center of the cookie and moving toward the points of the stars.
Drag the scribe tool through the icing in between the points.
Allow the icing to dry completely before packaging the cookies (overnight is best).
